If Park Bank is liable for not spotting Sujata "Sue" Sachdeva's $34 million embezzlement from Koss Corp. and has to reimburse the company, Koss Chief Executive Michael Koss should also be ordered to personally pay the public company he runs, the bank argues in a new lawsuit.

Grant Thornton, Koss Corp.'s former auditor, should also have to pay a portion of any award that may be ordered, Park Bank argued in the latest twist in a long-running court fight stemming from Sachdeva's massive embezzlement.

"Park Bank denies any and all liability to Koss in this case," the bank said in its action. "Nevertheless, should Park Bank be found liable to Koss (Corp.) and required to pay damages to Koss, in this case, those damages will have been the result of a common liability of Park Bank, Michael Koss and Grant Thornton, thereby entitling Park Bank to (a) contribution from Michael Koss and Grant Thornton."(10)

(from the article): "These fishing expeditions that have so far produced almost nothing in the way of substantial criminal behavior are getting tough to take," one leading Republican told the Journal Sentinel on Monday.

Let them search, I say! They will search and search .. and find nothing.

But then, I say the table should be turned! With all the "Dark Money" and $pecial Interest groups who funded the union-backed recall, there should be plenty to dredge up! Plenty!

Join The Tea Party! It's best to be Above Board in your business transactions! =)

You are saying that only $4 million of union money was poured in? I find that very hard to believe. Also, how much "in kind" money was given on the left? How many union folks were out there protesting on paid time?

"...Walker, who was able to raise unlimited amounts for his campaign while his opponent could not because of a quirk in state election law, enjoyed a $30.5 million to $4.4 million advantage over Milwaukee’s Democratic Mayor Tom Barrett."

John, here you go, try this article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/20/wisconsin-recall-elections-money_n_971599.html According to the article: The report found Democrats and their backers outspent Republicans $23.4 million to $20.5 million in this summer's recalls. Happy now?

John, my bad. Try this artical: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/06/06/Media-Spin-Recall-As-Money-Suck Walker did outspend Barrett $30M to $4M but that ignores the $21M spent by the unions. So the gap is not as big as you would like everyone to believe.

"Six individuals — including three former Walker aides, an appointee and a major campaign contributor — were convicted of criminal charges as a result of the probe. The first-term Republican governor said he was not a target of the investigation.Read more from Journal Sentinel: http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/232433971.html?ipad=y#ixzz2l5zBHwNG Follow us: @NewsHub on TwitterFacts Walker did not out in his book.

Looks like Walker was not a target in the first investigation. It was people who happened to work for him. i believe Jim Doyle also had a former donor charged in the past. Does that mean he was being investigated as well?

He should be in jail for sooooo many other reasons as well, although I guess since it is not technically a criminal offense, Obama would at least get a pass for being the most incompetent person to ever hold the office. He even managed to make Carter look good by comparison.

Remember...the DA never, EVER "cleared" Scott Walker in the first investigation. He could have -- but did NOT -- issue Scott Walker a letter telling him that he was innocent. The DA only said he did not have enough evidence to convict him. Looks like maybe the DA will now have enough evidence...which is why the Republican are leaking information like a sinking ship.

"Walker has refused to say whether he, his attorneys or his campaign or state staff members have been contacted by prosecutors as part of what is being dubbed John Doe II."Read more from Journal Sentinel: http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/232433971.html?ipad=y#ixzz2l5zQuDjd Follow us: @NewsHub on Twitter

Of course not - if he's not - and if he's cleared - people will have pity of the sorry soul for being the victim in this.

Yeah, pretty much. A half dozen GOP operatives including the chief of staff convicted of crimes. Now part two will go after the big fish like the traitorous Walker and his evil Koch Brothers minions. Perhaps the Koch Brothers will share a cell with inmate Walker.

Ah, another campaign is approaching, and the Democrat DA in Milwaukee is launching yet another one sided investigation. What a shock!It is very odd that any investigation into campaign financing during the recalls would not focus on both sides of the aisle.

wish, I believe that there is a call for a John Doe only when there is evidence about possible wrong-doing. If you have such evidence, you should be the one who calls for the John Doe. Anything else is just hear-say and means nothing.

If its about the political spin even a judge's choice on chewing gum flavor could be whipped up as a conflict.

Personally I think we are seeing the success of Walker here to call it out that the local legal clap trap isn't in control of these investigate and preside over the proceedings. A judge from up north was selected. This is a huge victory for Walker's supporters.

Peterson better step forward and tell us if he signed the recall. Because if he did, he has forever broken the public trust and can't be counted on to pass impartial judgment on anything short of jay walking, ever again.

Temper tantrum? You mean we were angry that CORPORATIONS WERE BUYING OUR ELECTIONS??? And NOW it appears that there is PROOF? And we went through these years of being lead by a CORPORATE STOOGE that is trying to DESTROY everything we hold dear like education, the environment and even the RIGHT TO VOTE because CORPORATIONS and the GOP BROKE THE LAW??? NO!! It is NOT a TEMPER TANTRUM when you are angry over JUSTICE DENIED, you traitorous GOP worms!

and tell it to the LIARS trying to make political gain out of a tragedy. Oh yeah. And WHERE IS THE INVESTIGATION into the HOUSE CUTTING FUNDING FOR EMBASSY SECURITY. Oh yeah. That little issue. Ignored by the TRAITORS in the GOP!!!

Sydney - the Obama administration holds seminars on "the art of knowing nothing and deflecting and distracting the public." It really ticks you off when you can't make your outrageous allegations stick to Walker doesn't it?

suzi -- Are you also concerned about the 4000 American war dead from the pointless, counterproductive War in Iraq to find the "Weapons of Mass Destruction"? Not to mention about 100,000 Iraqis dead, and tens of thousands of Americans with long-term problems with head injuries caused by roadside bombs.

The list of the dead from the Iraq debacle, and the $2 TRILLION DOLLARS squandered there, kinda dwarfs whatever it is you claim Pres. Obama did in Benghazi, doesn't it?
